Ogden Utah Temple Pictures
The Ogden Temple stands at the heart of downtown Ogden — a striking granite-clad landmark on Washington Boulevard that was completely reimagined in a three-and-a-half-year renovation, and then rededicated in September 2014. One of the largest temples in the Church, at 112,232 square feet, it anchors an entire city block alongside the historic Ogden Tabernacle and serves more than 48 stakes across northern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. Our collection of Ogden Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this stunning temple in a range of styles and sizes.

About the Ogden Utah Temple
Announced August 24, 1967 — along with the Provo Temple, and prompted by the discovery that more than 50 percent of all Church ordinance work was being performed in just three temples — the Ogden Temple was dedicated on January 18–20, 1972 by President Joseph Fielding Smith, making it the first temple dedicated in the state of Utah (the four preceding Utah temples had been dedicated in Utah Territory). The groundbreaking was held on the 96th birthday of local resident President David O. McKay, who passed away just four months later. The temple was subsequently dedicated on the second anniversary of his passing. At the dedication, President Harold B. Lee completed the final third of the dedicatory prayer when President Smith became too weak from standing. During its first full month of operation, the Ogden Temple outperformed the four other operating temples in Utah combined in endowment work — a testament to the pent-up demand it was built to address.
In February 2010, the Church announced a complete architectural transformation of the temple. Where the original building had been a flat-roofed 1970s modernist structure nearly identical to the original Provo Temple, the renovation replaced the exterior entirely with granite cladding, added art glass windows, reoriented the entrance to face east, and created two large water features flanking the building. An Angel Moroni statue — the original design had included one but eliminated it — had already been added in 2002 after 30 years. The historic Daughters of Utah Pioneers museum on the temple block was relocated one block west to preserve it during construction. More than 181,000 guests toured the renovated temple during the open house, and President Thomas S. Monson rededicated it on September 21, 2014.
Ogden Temple Photos, Art & Prints
The Ogden Temple's dramatic reimagined exterior — its granite spire and art glass windows rising above a beautifully landscaped downtown block, flanked by two sweeping water features — makes it a visually compelling subject in all seasons. The dramatic mountain backdrop of the Wasatch Front rising directly to the east, and the proximity to the historic Ogden Tabernacle, give photographers a rich visual environment to work with. Our collection features photography and fine art capturing the temple in brilliant summer light, vivid autumn color, and the snow-dusted beauty of a northern Utah winter. We even have one picture of the original design of the temple.
Ogden Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout northern Utah's Weber and Davis Counties and the surrounding region — and for anyone with a connection to this thoroughly transformed and beautiful temple. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
